Hi crafters,
The Reminder Team are sharing more inspiration over at the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge Blog for our March theme of Designer Paper.
I made three cards using one sheet of the Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Traditions 6" x 6" Designer Paper. It stood out for it's bold design and mix of traditional and modern colours.
I made three card bases using heavyweight white cardstock in American A2 size of 4.25" x 5.5". I cut the 6" x 6" piece of designer paper at 4" and then cut that piece on the diagonal to get two backgrounds. This left me with a strip that I could use on the third card.
Card 1
I masked the edges of my card with Gina K Masking Magic Strips and stamped the Picket Fence Studio Hark, the Angels Sing Background Stamp in Concord & 9th Avocado ink. I added the designer paper section below and then finished off with a strip of gold metallic cardstock on the diagonal edge. I created the poinsettia using the Altenew Poinsettia 3D Die Set in Real Red cardstock from Stampin' Up! with a gold metallic centre die cut. I stamped my sentiment using the Spellbinders Mini Christmas Greetings Stamp Set in the Avocado ink to match my background stamping.
Card 3
Using up the second half of the original piece of designer piece I made a third card. I adhered the designer paper to the top of the card base. I created three poinsettia blooms using the Honey Bee Stamps Winter Bouquets Honey Cuts in Real Red cardstock with metallic gold centres. I adhered these to the diagonal cut of the designer paper, adding some greenery in Avocado cardstock between the blooms. I finished off this card using a sentiment from the
Gina K Designs Peace Love Joy Mini Stamp Set in Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink.
I had so much fun making these three cards and I'll definitely be pulling out my designer paper again soon. I hope you can join us for our Designer Paper theme. You have until Tuesday 9 April 2024 at 6pm BST to submit your entry.
Happy Christmas crafting,
Rachel
